It wasn't that railroads built the tracks through the middle of towns, it was that the town was built on either side of the tracks...
Well what a coincidence My dad was too and he claimed he carried a BAR as well and was in H.Q. company. I think they carried that and a lot more. Pushing mules up n down the countless hills, crossing countless streams. Most succumbed to malaria and typhus took a big toll on the overall outfit. If your dad was among the original 5307th composite unit / provisional Code Name Galahad, from Dec 43/Jan 44 and later coined as Merrill's Marauders by a stars n strips reporter then you can find your dad's name at their memorial site ? http://marauder.org/marauder.htm
Loudbang thanks for posting this picture. As a youngster this Frantic Four AA/FD was my favorite race car, shown with the 426 Hemi replacing the old 354. I'd never seen this photo.
